My final fluids flow viz project

[Shoop]

May be the greatest of all time


Laminar vs turbulent vs aresol flow.

This post was made on mobile, with large images, let's see if it works.

@Shoop Well, aren't you just all technical!

That is exactly what we did the day we turned in our Senior design projects (Chemical Engineering). The projects were 4 person groups so we had a relay race with a 12 pack. My team did not win, but fun was had by all.
The best part about that night was that around midnight a group of 3 or 4 girls squealed “we are going to get tattoos!”. Two hours later they came back with belly rings, not tattoos. I’m still not sure who drove them...

Part of my write up:
The center is a standard turbulent outflow from a can. This is because as the fluid flows out, it creates a low-pressure area inside the can. This causes the atmospheric pressure to rush in to equalize the pressure inside the can through the same hole as the outflow. This causes a pressure and flow oscillation that results in turbulent flow.

The left most picture is of a laminar flow out of a modified can. And extra hole has been added, which allows the atmosphere to equalize without disturbing the outflow.

The right picture is of can that has been shaken. As the pressure from the released carbon dioxide is released, it forces the fluid out through a small hole and aerosolizes it.

I have nothing against tattoos, but I think I'd prefer the belly rings, personally...lol

nipple piercings are the ultimate, but a belly will do
